What can I do about my moms habits?

My life is mad crazy its going to take long to type this and I wanna thank you so much for taking the time to read it.Okay my mom and dad got married in 1996 and had me in 1997 im thirteen.Already when I was born everything was wrong.My dad was drunk all the time when he came home from staying out at bars evernight..and my mom would dread him coming home.One day he was so drunk he punched her in the face and she had a black eye.Now throughout my life my parents have never gotten along.I remember many times I was having panic attacks because of all the things my dad would threaten to do or all the things that were being said right in front of a minor (myself)So in Sept.2009 they finally got separated I was devastated back then.Then my dad came back 3 times and it didnt work out he left twice because he said my mom and I fight and he left a third time because he said the house wasnt clean.Now they are separated for good.And im happy actually I just hope my dad keeps up the money giving because he has to..and I dont want it to be like past separations..I will barely see my dad in fact he and I dont talk because I called him insane a couple weeks ago in which his case that is SO true.My dad has always trying to give me everything he didnt have when he was little..but now that he is gone my mom is slacking off..she sleeps when I come home everyday..she doesnt clean..doesnt get things done..talks to gay friends on the phone constantly..drinks once a week..and really is getting on my nerves.

Answer #1

My family, is almost exactly like that. Exept, my parent arent spilt, my dad lives in the basement and my mom lives upstairs. pretty much, my dad is an alcoholic., but he doesnt realize it. so, wheni deal with him and HIS habits, I tell him that its all going to be ohk, im there for him. same with my mom. she sometimes gets the opposite, she get REALLY REALLY stuck up and needs everything done in five minutes, yet my dad slacks off. What I do, is help my mom through things by simply asking how her day was, and then ask her if she wants to talk about anythhing. when my dad is downstairs, I will go and comfort him, and ask him if anything is wrong, so my advice is to just help your mom through whatever she is going through. and try and find out whats really going on in her life, and try to help her. hope everything gets better, and god bless. (:

Answer #2

tell her how you feel about her behaviour, and she needs to act more like a mum as your only 13. if she cares, she’ll change her attitude when she sees how its affecting you. good luck :) sorry I cant give more advice I’ve never been thru anything like this :/

Answer #3

Ew! NO! My mother use to be like your mom and it pissed me off real good.

Answer #4

Auhhh… the convenience of stupid, under working parents (sarcasm). Tell her she needs to f-cking grow up! She’s not a teen anymore. She cant have gay friends that will obviously never like her. She’s a f-cking parent and that’s her deal whether you are a mistake or not. Tell her to f-cking get off her fat -ss and clean the damn house! If she doesn’t do it, threaten her with f-cking child care services!

Answer #5

Perhaps you can talk to her and let her now how her attitude makes you feel. Explain to her that you know everything she has been through and that you will always be there to hear her out and support her, maybe building up a friendship with her can help a lot. Also mention to her that she is your mother and you love her, that you would do anything in order for her to be better and to become the perfect role model for you. I don’t know if this will help much but I tried. Goodluck with everything.
